Throwing it down Larry King-style.
Before I head down to Franco’s for the Lions game, I’m going to go Larry King on you and just start spitting out random, unrelated thoughts.
1. I learned a long time ago that the best way to avoid seeing something that makes you uncomfortable is to not look at it. If you’re embarrassed about what you’ve done in the past, for example, and it’s documented somewhere, don’t go reading and re-reading it.
2. I’m still looking for the following Jude songs: Everything is OK and Everything I own.
3. I had this strange dream last night where I was the spokesman for an NFL team who had the first pick in the draft. The problem was, I didn’t know who we wanted to draft, and for some reason didn’t even know any of the top prospects. To make matters worse, when I finally thought I figured out who we should pick, I tried to announce it from the podium and realized I had no voice. So I asked Lou Holtz, who was dressed in all Notre Dame gear, to help me. When he got up to the podium, I pointed to the name of the player I wanted to draft and he just started laughing at me. It was the strangest thing.
4. The Lou Holtz dream was only a one-time thing, but I’ve had this other, recurring dream a lot lately. I’m walking through the airport with my personal assistant, a young woman named Anita. She is pulling her luggage behind her on a cart and I have a bag slung over my shoulder. Suddenly we see some terrorists down the hall, brandishing automatic weapons and taking people hostage. We immediately decide to start running and sometimes we get away from the terrorists, other times we end up ducked behind a barricade with them shooting at us. This dream must mean something, since I keep having it. Right?
5. I have a big problem with unreliable people. If you say you’re going to do something, do it.
6. I hate the holidays, they always make you think about what you’re missing out on. If I have to see one more romantic commercial about buying jewelry I’m going to throw my television out the window.
7. I’m still looking for something to do on New Year’s Eve. I thought I was going to the Suicide Machines show, but if there’s a party or something going on, let me know.
